Many don't realize it, but Jesus did not
raise Himself from the dead; the Father did this for Him! The word records more
than forty verses which categorically teach that Jesus was raised by His Father
as opposed to only three which speak metaphorically of Jesus' raising Himself
(e.g., “Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up”, John 2:19).
Jesus was committed to staying in the grave until the Father did it for Him.
Check it out in the word. Oh, this makes His voluntary death for you and me just
that much more precious!
